Chapter 72 Jupiter and the Monkey(木星和猴子).jpg

JUPITER ISSUED a proclamation to all the beasts of the forest and promised a royal reward to the one whose offspring should be deemed the handsomest. —
朱庇特向森林里的所有野兽发布了一道公告,并承诺给那位子孙最漂亮的野兽一个皇家奖励。 —

The Monkey came with the rest and presented, with all a mother’s tenderness, a flat-nosed, hairless, ill-featured young Monkey as a candidate for the promised reward. —
猴子和其他野兽一起来参加,并以一个母亲的温柔,带来了一个扁鼻子、没有毛发、相貌丑陋的小猴子作为候选人。 —

A general laugh saluted her on the presentation of her son. —
当她展示她儿子时,一片哄笑声迎接了她。 —

She resolutely said, “I know not whether Jupiter will allot the prize to my son, but this I do know, that he is at least in the eyes of me his mother, the dearest, handsomest, and most beautiful of all.”
她坚决地说:“我并不知道朱庇特是否会把奖品给我的儿子,但我知道,在我这个母亲的眼中,他至少是最亲爱、最英俊、最美丽的。”
